I agree that the technical solutions can be developed.

More complicated is identifying the external services that will provide the 
authoritative, evidence-based, maintained knowledgebase for the systems to 
call, including all the variations based on age, gender, race, co-morbidities 
etc. If we think establishing, verifying and maintaining terminologies are 
difficult...

I don't think it should be that complicated - after all, a call out to a 
terminology service is already a call out to a service; terminology is just one 
kind of reference knowledge that a query language / engine needs to get at; we 
can assume that a units service (as Bert and others were discussing earlier), 
lab results reference ranges, drug DB and so on may all be needed by the query 
service.

So I think it mainly comes down to the syntax and programming model of talking 
out to such interfaces. We might potentially assume that they are all based on 
a common ontology meta-model of some kind (e.g. based on BFO, RO, IAO etc) in 
which case a common underlying style could be established.
